My Story
A globetrotter fueled by passion, adventure and amazing food. Go-getter, travel guru & foodie, often jet-setting to explore new cultures, flavors and experiences.
Travel Style
I'm big on staying organized — I've got my itinerary down to a T so I can hit all the hotspots and not miss a beat. But it's not just about checking off boxes for me; it’s so important to really get to know the heart and soul of a place. That means taking time to kick back, mingle with the locals, absorb the culture and find those local gems that truly make a place special. And you can’t truly know a place if you haven’t eaten your way through it! I'm all about diving headfirst into the local culinary scene. From street food to fine dining, I'm on a mission to taste it all! When it comes to spending, I like to keep things balanced between sticking to a budget and splurging on those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that you simply can’t pass up. It’s all about living my best travel life, one delicious bite and once incredible adventure at a time!

Patricia is the best!! During the planning period for my trip she was patient with me, responded promptly to my many many emails, and answered every single little question I possibly had. She also made herself available at all times to chat on the phone if requested. The hotels we booked through her ended up being so lovely and perfect for our stays in Nice and Paris. Will be booking all of my future trips with Patricia, starting my honeymoon next year!

Patricia did an amazing job finding us a super convenient place to stay at a reasonable price. She took the time to ask us about our plans and geared her suggestions to our wishes—and price point. Booking was a breeze and there were no hiccups. Always easy to contact and quick to respond. Beyond the hotel, Patricia recommended several great restaurants and things to do that I wouldn't have found on my own. Highly recommended!
